        I’ve never seen one in real life so maybe it’s larger than the picture makes it out to be.

              Not really.

              Smallest difference is 150 calories for steak, and the largest difference is double carnitas at 420 calories more calories than the veggie.

              If you get a veggie with guac, it is more calories than any single-portion meat burrito without guac. But of course if you get guac on the meat burrito, it will have more calories.

      Right? It’s also just a big burrito.

      Doesn’t even need to be fast food for a burrito to get crazy though. Carbs and protein cooked in fat, covered in fatty protein, fatty carbs, a little more fat, garnished with some dietary fiber mixed with fat and then wrapped up in some hot, dense carbs glued together by fat is gonna have a lot of calories. Can also have a lot of great nutrients, and you need all those fibers, fats and proteins but damn is it heavy.

      All the best foods seem to be geared towards an era of our existence when you’d wake up at dawn, burn 2000 calories before 11, eat lunch and nap for an hour then work off another 3000 calories before eating dinner at 5 and breaking even.
